What is VCU eID?
Your eID is an alphanumeric set of characters. Your eID is not your student or employee number (also known as your V-number, vID, or Banner number).
The VCU eID is the username used and a corresponding eID password to access VCU resources such as myVCU Portal, VCUMail, Blackboard, VCU Library resources, VCU eServices, VCU SafeNet, and other central and departmental applications.
The VCU eID’s vision is to provide all VCU affiliates with authenticated secure access to the information they need through the web using a simple, single sign-on process.
To claim your eID account, you will need 2 out of the 3 items of information to verify your identity to Claim your Account:
- VNumber
- VCUCard Number
- Birthdate.
